"Opposition to the U.S. Military Industrial Complex is racist."

"Opposition to judicial overreach of the U.S. supreme court is racist."

"Opposition to the Federal Reserve is...racist."

...do you see how nonsensical that is?

...do you see that by conflating the opposition to the actions of a State with racial prejudice they (the State) has created a smokescreen to justify *any State action*?

"Opposition to the CIA is racist."

My standard was 6 mins in the tub (53F - temp from well), but this week I started cycling (3 mins. full hot shower, 3 mins. cold) x3 ... not sure which I like better but both are excellent for stress relief.

Be better

Disney Christmas show just flashed the words "We Love You Satan" in big letters, filling the screen

But don't worry they just misspelled Santa

Golly isn't that so humorous and whimsical

The witch character was so goofy and silly too

It is all so fun and harmless

Dude bro

Welcome!

I wouldn't be surprised if this were true, but in the age of AI I'm going to question every recording--lost or otherwise.

"If it's free, then *you* are the product."

The quote in context is Jesus saying:

>“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. ([Matthew 7:6](https://www.esv.org/Matthew+7/), ESV)

Check out [Matthew Henry's Commentary](https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/mhc/Mat/Mat_007.cfm?a=936006) on this verse in context (free online). It basically means that, although we should exhibit grace and patience with all, so much as is possible, there comes a point when some people are so stubborn, so belligerent, so unreasonable, that we should not "cast our pearls" (whether that means continued appeals to believe the gospel, or just 'offering them our best') any longer. Sort of like the Apostles who, after pleading with some people, after being met with such harsh ridicule and stubbornness, "wiped the dust of their feet off as a testimony against them," and went on their way. Sort of like saying: "OK, have it your way. I tried. I'm not even taking the memory of you with me--not even the dust I picked up a long the way--I wash my hands of you."

Make sense?
